Melody (melodyseestrees) | 14 comments For my challenges we have
The Reformatory by Tananarive Due
The Reformatory As a library book and audiobook (I just got my second chance at it from the library)
Piglet by Lottie Hazell
Piglet as Ebook and free book.
The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle, #2) by Maggie Stiefvater
The Dream Thieves as the sequel I'm reading
Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk
Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead as my book set in another country and it is translated into English.
I guess my birth color is orange- some shade of which is represented in the covers I have of Piglet and The Reformatory.
If my count is right I'll be doing challenges 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16, and 18.

Gopaytonman | 12 comments GRASSROOTS by ‘Pemi Aguda is my choice for July. I read about it in Poets and Writers magazine in their First Fiction picks and…..I was able to squeeze out 5 challenges.
1) one word title…..lovely compound word.
11) An author new to me
12) set in another country
17) last purchased
19) involves siblings… a short story collection that has a story about two brothers

My Theme?
My new love for short stories.

Gopaytonman | 12 comments I’m such a ding dong. I don’t know why I keep posting the name of ‘Pemi Aguda’s book as GRASSROOTS! Maybe spell check keeps grabbing it. Her book is GHOSTROOTS. GHOSTROOTS!!
